The whole chapter is here, a verse to a line.

וַיַּעַן בִּלְדַּד הַשֻּׁחִי וַיֹּאמַֽר׃

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:

הַמְשֵׁל וָפַחַד עִמּוֹ עֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָֽיו׃

Dominion and fear are with Him; He maketh peace in His high places.

הֲיֵשׁ מִסְפָּר לִגְדוּדָיו וְעַל־מִי לֹא־יָקוּם אוֹרֵֽהוּ׃

Is there any number of His armies? And upon whom doth not His light arise?

וּמַה־יִּצְדַּק אֱנוֹשׁ עִם־אֵל וּמַה־יִּזְכֶּה יְלוּד אִשָּֽׁה׃

How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

הֵן עַד־יָרֵחַ וְלֹא יַאֲהִיל וְכוֹכָבִים לֹא־זַכּוּ בְעֵינָֽיו׃

Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, And the stars are not pure in His sight;

אַף כִּי־אֱנוֹשׁ רִמָּה וּבֶן־אָדָם תּוֹלֵעָֽה׃

How much less man, that is a worm! And the son of man, that is a maggot!
